Re: Touring Car Outdoor Year Round Storage Ideas
Another option for you is a car that needs a restoration.
5 years in the yard is not going to hurt a car that’s been deteriorating for 99 years.
Get a rough car that needs work and bring it back....

Re: Help with old Mallory zb 275
It has both. Mechanical advance and a vacuum brake. My understanding is the vacuum brake is not really "vacuum advance" but it's a "buffer"...so to speak that works with the mechanical advance in...

Re: F1 truck MC bench bleed
Pretty much impossible on that design master cylinder. Think about it, the fluid is going to run out when you make the connection and you'll have to bleed it again anyway. The only thing accomplished...

1949 was a long long time ago. It was a different world.
I dare say most "police cars" were standard sedans. Some of the police cars from that era may not have had a radio. If they did it was a...

Re: 8ba Head Replacement
Tubman I believe the EACs are just a step below the 8BAs being roughly equivalent to the 8RT truck heads.
